Chord! (Guitar Chord Finder) apk

Description

Chord!
is mainly a guitar (or any fretted instrument) chord finder. Unlike
most of the other apps, it generates itself chords diagrams, so it
supports any chord (even slash ones like D/F#) in any tuning, with any
number of strings (guitar, banjo, ukulele, bass, mandolin, etc.). You
can fine tune to your needs the chord search algorithm, like specifying
the maximal number of fingers or fret span for example.You can hear
how each diagram sounds by sweeping your finger across the strings. The
diagrams are displayed in color and you can view stats about the current
fingering.
You can also reverse search chords: Entering on a neck
the fingering will give you instantaneously the possible names of the
chord and you will then be able to explore possible variations.
Furthermore,
it embeds a database of 400 scales that you can plot on a neck in any
tuning, or reverse search. It means that you can find the scales
corresponding to the notes you enter on a neck.
You can also harmonize each scale with a total freedom on the parameters.
The
database is shipped with a hundred of tunings for various instruments
and you can add you own ones. You can also add a capo or forbid some
strings (for example if you broke some).
The app fully supports left handed instruments.

Chord has been featured app in the android market and was presented at Google IO 2011!
Note:
The app tries to detect if your device is a tablet or a phone. For
intermediate devices like big phones or small tablets it is not
straightforward, and you can override the layout in the settings,
advanced section.
Note: Some Archos devices may no be able to reproduce sound.
